When I was little, my sister and I would play the game "Taste Testing" (what we called it) for hours. There was always that element of surprise wondering what spoonful of food you would get in your mouth.
I have vivid memories of spoonfuls of Skippy Peanut Butter, ice cream, cheese and my all-time dreaded food...mayonnaise! that was the deal breaker. I absolutely despise mayonnaise, and getting a spoonful of that was like my worst nightmare! at the same time, the game was really fun.
I suggest playing the Food Tasting Game with your kiddies as part of my kitchen fun series. Kids love stuff like this.
How to Play the Food Tasting Game
Get a blindfold or two and gather up some foods right from your kitchen. This is the perfect time to have some special one-on-one time with the kids.
Ideas for the "Taste Test" foods are - cut-up fruits, cheese, pickles, olives, deli meats, candies, veggies and don't forget spices, in which they can smell instead of taste. I have even created a fun game card which you can download here.
Now go have some kitchen fun.
Happy Tasting,
Jill, Jack & Kyle
